I’m Debbie, a technical recruiter with ostechnical. Here’s three virtual job search tips and techniques you could do right from home. Beginning now, number one is stay positive. If you’re a recent graduate looking for an internship, recently graduated ready to begin your career. Or even if you have been in a position for 20 years and you recently have been furloughed or your job has been eliminated, don’t give up. Continue to search. Even in today’s economy, some people think. Why even try? There’s no one hiring. That many industries are creating new positions. Many companies are still hiring. Alot of new technology positions launching in technology throughout multiple industries across the globe. For example, crm software engineers and developers are in high demand for technical talent to design and maintain and support clients and end users and employees to allow them to work from home. So number one is stay positive and don’t give up. You have to try. Number two is now is the time to reevaluate your long term career goals. Ask yourself, do you want to stay in the position you’re currently in? Do you like your profession? Do you like your industry? Are you enjoying it? Are you happy? If it’s no? Is there an industry of position you’ve always wanted to try and never had the courage? Are you good at a hobby or interest you can turn into a career. If you enjoy doing what you’re doing, you’ll be successful. Update your skills. For those in college or individuals that have been in a career for 20 years, update your skills. You may want to consider a certification or a new profession. So now is the time to actually take the time to maybe take that course you’ve always wanted to learn. Take a photography course in marketing, digital social, media and technology. There’s actually a talent scarcity for ai, cybersecurity, mobile application developers and also crm software. These are just a glimpse of technology positions hiring at a tremendous pace in today’s current economy despite covid. So number one is a state positive.
